Mounting DS211j Synology NAS

From the command line, when I enter:

mount 192.168.2.XX:/volume#/sharedFolder /media/mntPoint 

The compiler says:

mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified

so then I run:

mount -o nolock 192.168.2.XX:/volume#/sharedFolder /media/mntPoint 

And all is fine. Is rpc.statd something I should be running?

Secondly, what exactly should my fstab look like?

I tried:

192.168.2.XX/volume#/sharedFolder /media/theWell/mntPoint nfs defaults,_netdev 0 2

But this causes my comp to hang at boot so I just commented it out.

Thanks in advance!
